Pre-Ride Inspections

Front Suspension

Inspect the front forks for oil leaks or damage, and verify smooth suspension operation. See

page 167.

Steering

1. On level ground, straddle the motorcycle and bring it to the fully upright position. Turn

the handlebars from stop to stop. The action should be smooth, but not loose.

2. Make sure wires, hoses and control cables do not interfere with smooth steering.

Rear Suspension

1. Check rear shock absorber movement and air pressure to ensure the correct amount of

suspension travel and ground clearance.

2. For air pressure adjustment information, see page 160 or refer to the suspension air pres-

sure label located in the left saddlebag near the air fitting.

WARNING! Inadequate ground clearance could result in components contacting the ground, causing

loss of control and serious injury or death. Always ensure ground clearance is at specification.
